Andrea Warren

PADI Course Director #339920

Andrea booked a diving course that would change not only the outcome of her vacation, but the outcome of her entire future.

After completing her PADI Open Water Course, she was immediately exposed to a whole new world.

Not just the underwater world, but the realm of becoming a professional diver, and what it truly had to offer.

She immediately started working towards a professional level and enjoyed the challenges and lessons that came with it.

Andrea has been working with scuba divers on a professional level for over 6 years now. Many of her students are working all around the world as scuba diving instructors.

She is also trained in technical diving and is constantly training and continuing to grow as a diver.

Before she was a PADI Course Director, Andrea was a professionally trained dancer and Dance teacher with the British Association of Dance.

She believes her dance background gave her the discipline to work hard and the fundamentals to succeed.

“Now I get to teach in a whole new classroom, that consistently inspires me every single day. One of my students was told that “her demonstrations were so clear and exaggerated, it’s as though she has been to stage school.”

I guess I found a way to combine both my passions into one. I know that as a PADI Course Director I will dedicate everything, to ensure my candidates are nothing but prepared. Not just for the Instructor exam, but for everything that comes after.”

Andrea has been working as a Course Director with Crystal Dive for nearly three years. She is heavily involved when it comes to professional development and is working directly alongside Platinum Course Director Matt Bolton.
